We would love to see the finished product once you sew it.

I like this method and the quadrant method. Am hoping to do one soon.

yep that's how I do it ;)

I would sew it row by row from left to right, and then attach each row , making sure to iron each row in a different direction, example: the first row iron all seams to the right, next row iron all seams to the left and so on and so forth...it's a lot easier to dovetail the seams which makes for perfect seaming.

I've dome this quilt about 4 time I love this design just so row by row and match up you seams it's easy....

I would take for blocks and sew them together, a four patch. You will get better accuracy this way rather than sewing eight rows together.

sorry my spelling was bad I'm doing this and I'm really tired going to bed now couldn't correct spelling but I'm sure you know what I was saying row by row it's easy that way....

I would sew it 4 squares at a time & square it up as you go.

But however you decide to do it, I know it will be perfect - good luck
